Or at least ones that you think broke the rules. And only certain rules.
Babe Ruth broke the rules. He was suspended by baseball for 30 games in 1922. Nobody says that should keep him out of the HOF.
Rogers Hornsby openly admitted cheating. He said “You’ve got to cheat. I know if I had played strictly by the rules, I’d have been home feeding my bird dogs a long time ago instead of earning a good living in baseball.” Nobody says that should keep him out of the HOF.
